Yes, less resolution. I look at the GRB tables and feel just as inadequate ;)

The stock table is pretty smooth.

Update.

 

So far I'd been working on the EL comp tables on my own car by applying the corrections equally to both 'cruise' and 'non-cruise' tables, even though one thing never sat right in my mind. If 'non-cruise' condition is generally held to mean the car is fueling in open-loop, why is there a table for EL comp, which is used in calculating closed loop fueling, labeled 'non-cruise'?

 

I've been working on both tables together since winter, where I normally drive around with the a/c off unless it's raining. As soon as I started running the a/c again I noticed I had the old lumpiness back and started logging fuel trims again to see what was up. Sure enough, a few cells in the EL comp table needed work again but now instead of changing both tables I'm changing the 'non-cruise' table only. Sure enough, that is getting the results I want without having to touch the 'cruise' table, so changes applied to help things when the a/c is on don't seem to hurt anything when the a/c is off.

fahr_side - thanks for the great write up and guide on the first page!

Are you saying you've found two EL comp tables and that we should expect most recent-gen Subaru's to have both? I wonder how I can find the second one in my ROM (ScoobyROM? td_d or dschultz's help?)

 

Airboy's excellent spreadsheet is one way to go about this, another is to use a JAVA based tool developed with this one and many other RR tools at its core.

Its fully configurable, great at digesting multiple or large log (hundreds of thousands of rows of data). Works great in conjunction with RR and it takes a lot of the manual steps out of the equation.

 

Thus far I've used it for MAF rescaling, CL/OL adjustments, Load Comp tweaking, MAF IAT Comp tweaking.

Thanks.

 

Yes, mine and many other 32bit ROMs have two tables. Like I said, it makes no sense that they are labelled cruise and non-cruise when by definition non-cruise is open-loop, which does no corrections to fuel trims.

From my understanding, "cruise" is TGVs closed, and "non-cruise" is TGVs open. You're not necessarily in open-loop if the TGVs are open.

That's an interesting idea. If that's the case then we should also filter data collected by TGV position and apply corrections accordingly. Those with deleted TGVs should have the same compensations in both cruise and non-cruise tables.

That's how the tables translate if you look at the maps as described by COBB in AccessTuner. The tables labeled "Cruise" in Tactrix definitions are labeled "(TGV Open)" in AccessTuner. Makes sense if you look at the maps too (e.g. the AVCS maps, the ignition maps, etc).

 

Also, operation of the TGVs in '07+ cars explains the naming:

Under cruise (low throttle/loads), the TGVs remain closed, regardless of engine speed/temperature, etc., in order to aid in more complete combustion. A little more throttle will open the TGVs. There aren't any tables to adjust how the TGVs operate (no one, including COBB, has reverse-engineered this as far as I know), so unfortunately we're stuck with physically deleting them.

 

Sorry if everyone already knew this... just want to make sure that people are aware that 2007+, the TGVs don't open at first throttle press and stay open until the next start like the '05-'06 MY.

Good information, thanks! I'm also hoping someone will define the TGV tables in Ecuflash or RR because I'd like to re-purpose those motors to drive a butterfly valve for an active muffler idea I have rattling around the back of my brain. It is fully defined in (the otherwise shitty) Subaruedit for the DIT cars. They also name everything TGV Open / Closed, though I don't see an EL comp table in any of the WRX or FXT ROMs I have here. Could be they're just not defined, could be the DIT ECUs just have different logic.

 

I haven't played with ATR in ages, but I kind of remember it also used the cruise / non-cruise labels in the version I had.

Can you force a different AFR with each table? Or will fuel trims adjust and just bring it back?

With these tables, can't change afr as it'll just compensate to get to 14.7.

 

For example, i tuned mine to give me -2 learning in all ranges. The big thing is that your compensations aren't running all over from -7 to +7 as you move through rpm and load, causing a little roughness as it tries to keep up with current conditions.

 

But you could force open loop and set afr to something else if you desire different afr...

thanks! I was just curious. I do actually run my mazda 3 in full time open loop. Been that way for over a year and gets mid 30s mpg. A custom target would be sweet though. Never seems to be really possible with any of the stock ecus Ive tuned.

 

You can set custom targets in all the Subaru ROMs I've seen... There's just compensations applied to it afterwards. Look for the Primary Fueling table (3D table that sets target AFR vs RPM and calculated load).

That's what is defined and if he says the other table isn't there I wouldn't doubt him.
